Spelling and beyond . . . Literacy Toolkit Activity 3: New Learning I explore sounds, letters and words, discovering how they work together, and I can use what I learn to help me as I read and write. I can spell the most commonly- used words, using my knowledge of letter patterns and spelling rules and use resources to help me spell tricky or unfamiliar words. I can spell most of the words I need to communicate, using spelling rules, specialist vocabulary, self- correction techniques and a range of resources. I can use a range of strategies and resources and spell most of the words I need to use, including specialist vocabulary, and ensure that my spelling is accurate. I can use a range of strategies and resources independently and ensure that my spelling, including specialist vocabulary, is accurate. *Responsibility of all ENG 0-12a/LIT 0- 13a/LIT 0-21a *Responsibility of all LIT 4-21a *Responsibility of all LIT 2-21a *Responsibility of all LIT 3-21a *Responsibility of all LIT 1-21a What key learning can you identify from these Outcomes?

Spelling and beyond . . . Literacy Toolkit Throughout their education, children and young people should experience an environment which is rich in language and which sets high expectations for literacy and the use of language. Children and young people need to spend time with stories, literature and other texts which will enrich their learning, develop their language skills and enable them to find enjoyment. Spoken language has particular importance in the early years. Teachers will balance play-based learning with more systematic development and learning of skills and techniques for reading, including phonics. Literacy and English: Principles and Practice How can we ensure that children can spell but also have a sound understanding of and knowledge about words?
